I-40 and I-17 in and around Flagstaff are terrible roads. Lots of potholes, poorly patched at best. East of Flagstaff or west of Williams the road surface gets better. As noted there are several steep grades between Flagstaff and Phoenix.
Also, note that the climb up and out of Albuquerque on eastbound I-40 is a long, very steep climb. Not a problem for 24' C but you folks hauling large trailers/fivers will have your work cut out for you.
Also be aware/prepared for seriously hot weather in June, Zion {and much of the rest of your route} could easily be triple digits.
Enjoy!

we are thinking of taking this route? 8 to 78 to 10 to 40, OR 15 to 10 to 95 to 40.....whats your opinion? Leaving San Diego to The Grand Canyon
